Early entry benefits that will be offered in 2020

Deferral Program
Athletes who register for 2020 IRONMAN Cairns or 2020 IRONMAN 70.3 Cairns on or before 11.59pm, September 15, 2019 are eligible to defer their entry into the corresponding 2021 event free of charge. All deferral requests will be honoured until 11.59pm, April 23, 2020 regardless of the reason for deferral. The deferral may only be used once. Athletes who elect to defer their entries forfeit any partial refund or insurance refund. Deferrals are only available for individual entries and not for relay teams.

Payment Plan Option (only available for 2020 IRONMAN Cairns)
Athletes who register for 2020 IRONMAN Cairns on or before 11.59pm September 15, 2019 may elect to pay via a three-part payment plan. Athletes will be charged three instalments. To elect the payment plan, an athlete needs to register under the “Payment Plan” category during the first 90 days of general entries being available and make the initial payment. All three payments must be completed for an athlete to race – partial payments will not be refunded or honoured as race entries. Athletes electing the payment plan may also utilize the deferral option or transfer option once all three payments have been completed. *NOTE: Payment Plan Option will use tier 3 pricing. In the event that general entry pricing moves to tier 4, payment one of the payment plan will increase to reflect tier 4 pricing.

Tiered Pricing
2020 IRONMAN Cairns and 2020 IRONMAN 70.3 Cairns will also offer tiered pricing based on entry allocation rather than dates. Once allocations are exhausted at each level the price will go up.
